Description

Set in the stunning Shropshire countryside with views of the Long Mynd and a few miles from Pontesbury, Whorls Corner is a fine English woodland that captures everything one would expect.

You will find this woodland set in the corner of a larger wooded area and accessed along a hard surfaced track that is suitable for a car at all times of the year. With the feel of an ancient hunting ground, Whorls Corner is certainly one of the most attractive woodlands we have on the market. With a small river that ventures in to the eastern corner providing atmosphere and character, fine mature oaks, and a stunning peaceful location, the amenity opportunity is exemplary.

The wood offers an abundance of mature oaks, birch, sycamore and ash within an open woodland feel.  Bordering woodland to the north and west, the other two boundaries look out to fantastic views across wildflower meadows and the end of the Long Mynd in the distance.

The character of this wood is defined by the well-spaced trees and the unencumbered grassy floor that allows easy access to wander around. Where the canopy opens the vegetation rises to produce some more secluded areas of self-seeded trees, climbers, ferns and a rich and diverse oak woodland habitat. In its wetter more fertile areas you will find alder taking advantage where other trees falter. Throughout the wood the understory includes hazel and holly trees at ground level hard fern, dog-rose, honeysuckle, sedge and even some patches of bluebells to name but a few of the seasonal woodland blooms here.

The only disturbance will be the sound of farm animals in the distance and the clip-clop of a horse on the road, the drumming of a woodpecker and the hawk overhead. On a lovely sunny day you will not want to leave.


If It Were Mine

Not to be spoilt by human trappings I would maintain its ancient feel, a little path would be nice from the car to a camping spot, a rope swing on a sturdy tree over the river would be fun and a bench or seat to look out from would be a delight. Silviculturally, I would plant some native trees through suppression mats where there is open canopy and try to enhance the wood for the next generation.
